Ravi Mohan's Separation from Aarti

In September last year, Ravi formally announced his separation from wife Aarti through a detailed note on social media, addressing it to his fans and followers.

Ravi, a prominent name in Tamil cinema, rose to pan-India fame with Mani Ratnam's two-part historical saga Ponniyin Selvan. He portrayed the titular character, Prince Arulmozhi Varman, who later became the great Chola emperor, Rajaraja I.

Aarti, the daughter of noted television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, married Ravi in 2009. The couple has two sons.

In his statement, Ravi wrote, "It is with a heavy heart that I must share a deeply personal update with all of you. After much thought, reflection, and discussion, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made in haste, and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved."

He also added that he decided to share the news publicly because he has always strived to be "as transparent and honest" with his fans and the media. The actor further requested privacy and urged people to avoid spreading rumours or making assumptions.

"...I kindly request all of you to respect our privacy, as well as that of our family members, during this difficult time and appeal to all of you to refrain from making any assumptions, rumours, or allegations in this regard and let the matter remain private (sic)," he concluded.

Ravi Mohan, the son of veteran film editor A. Mohan, is known for his work in films such as Jayam, Daas, Mazhai, Bommarillu, Peranmai, Romeo Juliet, Bhoomi, and Siren.
